INTERIOR DEFECTd,

This about covers NIL OF my examiaa-
tons OF the outer walls. All OF the brick
partition walls from the cellar to tho third
story floor are cracked and are entirely too
light to Withstand tho weight upon them,
and in the basement where they were not
plastered, particularly noticed they were
not banded into the main walls. The
floor joists are too light for buildings of
this character, tho span is 30 great DO.
tween bearings.
l find tho foundations are heavy enough
provided they had been properly con
structed, but the stones hav9been laid up
without bedding and very inferior mortar
has been used. Some Of the stones are
showing disintergration. Judging from
the extreme settling Of the west wall
should think tho footing stones were not
large enough to sustain the super-incum-
bent weight, taking into account the
character Of the soil, understanding rs /
did, that it is Of a soft loamy nature.
The brick walls, as far as was able to
examine, l find to be Improperly con-
structed. Tho brick appears to be Of a
variable character; the mortar, though
apparently good, there was not enough Of
it used to properly fill or elush up the
joints. The heart Of the walls are full OF
interstices.
Tho roof Of the building find fairly
substantial, the timbers being heavy
enough, but the work of framing might
have been done in more thorough man.

The entire west wall, together with q
section Of the west and north walls, should
be taken down to the bottom OF the pres.
ent foundations and rebuilt, but do not
recommend it, as the settling would not
be uniform and would in all probability
show some cracks at the junction of the
old and new works. In doing this it
would be considerable risk in sustaining
the standing walls while the work was in
progress, to say nothing Of tho expense,
Even II this was doneit would not remedy
the defects OF the other parts Of the build.
ing. The floor joists would still be too
light and also the partition wallis. ts
Alter very careful deliberation my
opinion is, that the building is unsafe
and should be taken down. This would
bs tho most prudent course to pursue. .,
